People I love
My beloved wife and conscripted blog editor in chief, Yuk-Lam, my children Abbey & Lucas (who are not so little these days), my Parents Irene & Bill & brother Paul.
Fellow running mates from my running clubs Astley and Tyldesley Road Runners & Leigh Harriers & AC they are such a fantastic bunch. I feel I should also mention Swinton Running Club, where I was a member for over 10 years. I wouldn’t be the runner I am today without the support they gave me over those days. I still have some good friends there, I’m sure they know who they are and it’s great to still see them at races.
Finally but not least my many other friends, who from their own choice have put up with me over the years!
Hello to any of you that reads this.

Things I Love
• Music especially New Romantic Eighties, Electronic and Classic House.
• The Hacienda Night Club, I loved the place when I was younger and even have a piece of the dance floor! These days I still enjoy frequenting Hacienda reunion nights with my old clubing friends, which are held at various venus, hosting the original DJs.
• I was a member of Eccles Archery Club and shot a recurve bow. I’ve not done it for a number of years but hope to return to it one day.
• Land Rover Defenders, Lotus Esprits and MG BGT cars .
• Ford 100E vintage vehicles and our works 1960 Ford Thames 300E Van, we’ve had it restored and its cool!
• Disappearing to the peace and tranquility of Anglesey, a lovely island, I enjoy running there and escaping from the mad speed of the modern world.
